Thanks Guys for the kind words and compliments. Means a lot. I will be assembling more F3F's and posting on the Gallery when they look right.

Gordon: How are you doing on CV10?

Not a real carrier.

A beautiful Build Mardis

I see Freetime Hobbies have the JFK and Kitty Hawk up for pre-order

Happy Modeling

Nice job Red!

Not much happening on this thread recently so it is good to see some activity. What is everyone up to?

I have been stuck in a rut building air wings for:

1/350 Lexington CV-2 1942
1/350 Intrepid CVA-11 1959
1/350 JFK CVA-67 1969


I took a break from the 700th work.

Keep up the great work!

Mark

Thanks Guys , a couple of fellow modelers ask me about the kit. It seems they are having a hard time getting it. Anyway waiting on the Merit JFK. I order it back in June 8th. I will wait and see what is in the box before I order the Connie. Happy Modeling Everyone

No 1/700 JFK for the Storm. Might be able to do some though. I started the research when Merrit announced the 350th JFK. What do you know that we don't know???

Oh you know fine well that when I dig my 1/700 JFK conversion out that they will announce a 1/700 scale release

Hello gtbred: It may not be a real carrier, but they served their purpose and your model reflects your skills and abilities to take a less than stellar hunk of resin and complete it into a great looking model.

Looks like this thread will get really big with two Supercarrier kits.

Connie has been shaved. hangar deck is in. next cut the hull for the waterline. Sorry to hear about your back Ed. Hope you get better.

Off to a good start Red!! Me too! waiting for an MRI to be done & see what goes on from there

wash the hull with warm soap and then dry off with a hair dryer. next rub down with rubbing alcohol and dry with the hair dyer. after that I cut the hull. when you waterline your build make sure you put in the hangar deck. also it wouldn't hurt to put in plastic sheets inside hull for strength so it won't flex. Happy modeling

Pretty straight, even cut. Nicely done Red. That is not easy to do.

Thanks Mark, was not easy. Did the same to BigE.
